Shared Care Outreach

Page Content

CAMH's Shared Care Clinical Outreach Service addresses the
physical and mental health needs of homeless/under-housed people with serious
and persistent mental illness who use hostels, shelters and drop-in centres in
downtown Toronto.

The Shared Care team consists of registered nurses, outreach workers, visiting
family physicians and consulting psychiatrists. Using Recovery Model
principles, the Shared Care team assists clients to access appropriate
resources (mental health, physical health, financial, housing, recreational and
vocational) and helps bridge clients to these services and other long-term
supports to deal with their illness.

Shared Care Services can be accessed through the following
Centres:

Adelaide
Resource Centre for Women(67 Adelaide St. East)

Metropolitan United Church (56 Queen St. East)

Fred Victor Centre (145 Queen St. East)

Woodgreen Community Services ((650 Queen St. E.)
